The term "schizophrenia" can be translated into "split mind," which usually refers to an abstract and complex theory of split psychic functions. In a different sense, however, being split may mean the bodily experience of a second person existing within the diseased individual who appears doubled. Three cases are presented to illustrate this phenomenon, called "bodily experienced disturbances of the self," and the difference from Schneider terminology is stressed.
